Ronan Farrow was formerly known as "Satchel" and was believed to be the biological son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. His mother cast doubt on that in 2013 when she revealed that his father could be her former husband Frank Sinatra, to which Ronan quipped on Twitter, "Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son."

Allen's breakup with Mia Farrow was precipitated by her discovery of an affair between the director and her then 21-year-old adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn. Farrow found nude photos of Previn in Allen's apartment. Previn and Allen, seen here in 2012 at the premiere of "To Rome With Love" in Los Angeles, have been married since 1997 and are the parents of two adopted daughters.

(CNN)As accusations against Woody Allen are back in the news, actress Susan Sarandon has reportedly weighed in about claims against the director.

According to Variety, the actress spoke out against Allen during Variety and Kering's Women in Motion talk at which she appeared with "Thelma and Louise" co-star Geena Davis.

Susan Sarandon attends the "Cafe Society" premiere and the Opening Night Gala during the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 11 in Cannes, France.

"I think he sexually assaulted a child and I don't think that's right," Sarandon reportedly said when asked about Allen.

Allen opened the Cannes Film Festival with his latest film, "Cafe Society," on the same day The Hollywood Reporter published an essay by his son, Ronan Farrow, headlined "My father, Woody Allen, and the danger of questions unasked."

In it, Farrow writes about the media's lenient treatment of his father in light of the accusations by Dylan, Ronan's sister, that Allen molested her when she was a child. Allen has denied the allegations and has never been criminally charged in connection with the claims.
